LED lighting

New poster here.
Wanting to start a discus biotope and was looking at lighting options. Very experienced with T5'e etc, but am quite taken by LEDs. Aim is to have a 6ft tank, x 2 x 2.
Is there a recommended set-up for this size?
What spectrum is recommended for a planted discus tank? Any 'don't do's?
any hints and tips will be most welcome, Thank you

Hi Japers1!
For choosing the best LED light for planted aquarium you can use 6500K and the rule that 1 watts of the light/ 1 gallon of aquarium water. Perhaps you are having your 20 gallon fish tank so I think 6500K and 20 watts LED lighting will fit the tank.
